The Montreal Canadiens started out the 2019 NHL Draft by grabbing an excellent goal scorer in Cole Caufield. He will help them provide offence, especially on the power play in the near future. For now, he will go light up the NCAA for Wisconsin.
After taking Caufield, the Canadiens decided to fill an organizational need. They used their second round and both their third round picks to bring in left shooting defensemen. This is an area that the team could use help with immediately, but also needed to stock the cupboards with a few as well.
Their second round pick was Jayden Struble.
